SDLC105: Learning Journal#3

From the reading “How to understand the Deep structures of Language” , I learn that languages have their own constraints. When we study new languages, we need to be aware of the different structures among them. In our native language, we may default bias on our language structure. My target language, Korean, follows an order of subject, object, and verb that is in the end of a sentence, unlike English sentence structure that follows an order of subject, verb and object. I will ask my language partner to recommend a Korean language grammar book for me.

I think a reference grammar book can be useful, especially for language learners. We are able to get a sense of how our target languages work while we repeatedly check the grammar book. To be familiar with the structure of Korean might help us to read, speak and write accurately.

(Note: Resources I will use to learn Korean: I will learn from a website called How to Study Korean which contains a lesson on sentence word order (http://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit1/unit-1-lessons-1-8/unit-1-les...), and A Korean language learning book I bought for my home country "Let's Learn Korean". )
